14′ 11″ Wittholz Catboat
Description
Here is an easily built small boat with a big heart. A seaworthy daysailer or vest-pocket cruiser, Corvus (named for the constellation known to mariners as the “gaff-rigged mainsail”) has the look of a traditional Cape Cod catboat with tumblehome stem, a beam of almost half her length, and a “barn-door” rudder on her stern. She has room for six adults in her 7′ -long cockpit, and there’s a “head” in her small cabin.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
